The Raspberry Pi Pico has been around for over two years, spawning countless RP2040-powered boards, including its own successor, the Raspberry Pi Pico W. One thing that hasn’t changed since launch is the installation of the C SDK. If you’re familiar with the toolchain, the process is simple, but for others the process is complicated and has been complicated until today. A one-click installer is now available for Windows users looking to get started. Announced in blog post.
of Installer basics builds on the work of Nikhil Dabas, who tackled the challenge of automating the installation process for Windows users. Hollingworth notes his Dabas work to create “something even better: a complete integrated installation package that gives people a great and easy way to build and debug the Pico-SDK.” Invited.
The process is just a matter of downloading the Windows Pico Install installer from GitHub for the Raspberry Pi and running that installer. The installer handles all the installation steps to configure the C SDK toolchain and install Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. The installer will suggest cloning and building a sample project to help you learn a new language. Once the installation is complete,[スタート]A new shortcut “Pico – Visual Studio Code” is added to the menu.
The first time you run Visual Studio Code, it will open the Pico Examples folder and you’ll be ready to start your next project. This blog post shows how to run the “hello_serial” sample, which extends the sample and shows how to create debug scripts for the recently released Raspberry Pi Debug Probe.
The installer is a breath of fresh air for Windows Pico hackers looking to write bare metal code for Raspberry Pi Pico.
